Sang Qingxiao swayed as she followed, and upon seeing both sides engaged in battle, she stood at a distance, watching intently.
The demon, having entered the realm of cultivation, was significantly stronger than an ordinary person due to the dual enhancement of its physique and demonic power. Qi Xiaomian, with his profound strength, unleashed his attacks relentlessly, yet he seemed to be slightly outpaced by the demon's natural recovery abilities. Moreover, with a hint of testing in his approach, the battle had reached a stalemate.
While observing the fight, Sang Qingxiao also paid attention to her surroundings and unexpectedly spotted two figures peeking from behind a nearby tree. She decided to circle around.
"I don't think it's right for us to scheme against others like this," one of them said.
"Who told him to block the path of the Right Deputy Censor? The Office of Censors values hierarchy; with the Left Censor being older and the Left Deputy Censor having encountered some trouble recently, the Right Deputy Censor was on the verge of rising to power, only for a Yongxin Marquis to appear out of nowhere."
"They can make their fuss; why should we get involved?"
"Anyone who comes here will pay their respects at Demon Catcher’s place. Even if no one from the Office of Censors reminds them, Qilang is always snooping around; how could he not know?"
"The Yongxin Marquis relies on his noble birth and achievements and refuses to lower himself. That would be fine if he at least sent someone as a gesture to maintain both parties' dignity. But his subordinates are just like him; they look down on us. Hmph! He broke the rules of the Office of Censors first, so he shouldn't blame us for being merciless!"
"Oh, it seems someone has been schemed against."
Sang Qingxiao listened with great interest but noticed that the battle was quietly shifting. The demon, growing impatient from being entangled, resorted to secret techniques and summoned bearers imbued with demonic power to join the fray. Unfortunately, these bearers acted like living corpses—unaware of pain or fatigue.
With three opponents now in play, the situation looked grim. Sang Qingxiao felt that the Yongxin Marquis was still holding back but realized she could no longer stand idly by. She kicked towards the two hidden figures, sending them flying out of the dense forest right between the Yongxin Marquis's subordinates and four bearers, perfectly blocking their encircling attack.
At this moment, Qi Xiaomian also noticed the commotion and caught sight of Sang Qingxiao in her black robe leaning against a large tree. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of calm wash over him.
He signaled to his brothers Qilang and Qi Shuo, and together they withdrew from the battle circle.
Standing beside Sang Qingxiao, Qi Xiaomian asked, "How does an ordinary person kill a demon?"
Sang Qingxiao replied half-jokingly, "Perhaps persistence? Even water can penetrate stubborn stone; for a Marquis, killing a tough-skinned demon is merely a matter of time."
"Miss Sang is joking," he said with a smile.
Sang Qingxiao no longer teased him. "If you want to hunt demons like a Demon Catcher, perhaps you could rely on a Demon Artifact."
"Demon Artifact?" he asked.
Sang Qingxiao explained, "A Demon Artifact is a weapon crafted by the demon race, usually forged by their Refiners. You may have heard that not long ago, there was turmoil among the demons, and most of the strong ones retreated to the seas. The few who remained on this continent have long since adapted to a reclusive lifestyle, so the Demon Artifacts circulating in the market are extremely rare."
Among the few Demon Artifacts available, finding one that you can subdue is another challenge. Even if you can subdue it, it also depends on how well the artifact matches with you.
In summary, matching Demon Artifacts are hard to find, and those that can match with a person are even rarer.
"Then what about alternatives to Demon Artifacts?" he inquired.
"Are you interested in becoming a Half-Demon, Yongxin Marquis?" Sang Qingxiao joked. "That would be simpler and could significantly enhance your strength. Would you be willing to give it a try?"
